Jesajas 29
1 Ak vai, Ariel, Ariel, pilsēta, kur Dāvids mitis, lai vēl gads ar gadu mijās, lai vēl svētki savā rindā pāriet.
Alas for Ariel, Ariel, The city against which, David encamped, —Add ye a year to a year. Let the festivals, come round;
2 Tad Es Arieli gribu apbēdināt, un tur būs vaidi un skumjas, un Man tomēr būs kā Ariels (Dieva lauva).
Yet will I bring Ariel into straits, —And she shall become a bewailing and wailing, Yea she shall become to me a veritable Hearth of God.
3 Jo Es gan apmetīšos visapkārt pret tevi un tevi spaidīšu ar karaspēku un uzcelšu pret tevi vaļņus.
And I will encamp round about against thee, —And lay siege against thee with a fort, And raise against thee siege-works;
4 Tad tu tapsi pazemota, tu runāsi no zemes, un tava valoda skanēs klusiņām no pīšļiem, un tava balss būs kā burvja balss no zemes, un tava valoda čukstēs no pīšļiem.
And thou shalt be brought low—Out of the earth, shalt thou speak, And out of the dust, shalt thou lower thine utterance, —And as one that hath a familiar spirit, Out of the earth, shall come thy voice, And out of the dust, thy speech shall chirp;
5 Un tavu ienaidnieku pulks būs tāpat kā smalki putekļi, un tas varas darītāju pulks kā vieglas pelavas, un tas notiks vienā acumirklī piepeši.
Then shall be as fine dust the multitude of thy foreigners, —And as chaff that passeth away, the multitude of tyrants; And it shall come to pass, in a twinkling, Suddenly,
6 Tu tapsi piemeklēta no Tā Kunga Cebaot ar pērkoni un ar zemes trīcēšanu un ar lielu rūkšanu, ar viesuli un ar aukām un ar rijošu uguns liesmu.
From Yahweh of hosts, shalt thou be visited, With thunder, and with earthquake and a great noise, hurricane and storm and flame of fire devouring;
7 Bet kā sapņa parādīšana naktī, tā būs visu pagānu pulks, kas karos pret Arieli, un visi, kas karos pret viņu un pret viņa pilīm un to spaidīs.
And it shall be like the dream of a night vision, With the multitude of all the nations who have been making war against Ariel, —Even with all who have been making war against her and her stronghold and who have been laying siege to her;
8 Tas būs tā, kā kad izsalcis sapnī redz, ka tas ēd, bet kad uzmostas, tad viņa sirds tukša, vai kā kad izslāpis sapnī redz, ka tas dzer, bet kad uzmostas, tad vēl ir izslāpis, un viņa sirds tvīkst. Tā būs ar visu pagānu pulku, kas karo pret Ciānas kalnu.
Yea it shall be As when the hungry man dreameth and lo! he is eating, But he awaketh, and his soul, is empty, Or as when the thirsty man dreameth and lo! he is drinking, But he awaketh and lo! he is faint and his soul, is craving, So, shall it be with the multitude of all the nations, that have come forth to war against Mount Zion.
9 Iztrūcinājāties un brīnāties, paliekat stulbi un akli! Tie ir piedzērušies, bet ne no vīna, tie streipuļo, bet ne no stipra dzēriena.
Stand ye stock still and stare, Besmear your eyes and be blind, —They are drunken but not with wine, They reel, but not with strong drink;
10 Jo Tas Kungs pār jums izlējis grūta miega garu, un jūsu acis, tos praviešus, Viņš ir aizdarījis, un jūsu galvas, tos redzētājus, apstulbojis.
For Yahweh, hath poured out upon you, a spirit of deep sleep, Yea hath tightly shut your eyes—the prophets, —And, your heads—the seers, hath he covered,
11 Tādēļ jums visa parādīšana palikusi kā aizzieģelētas grāmatas vārdi, ko vienam dod, kas māk lasīt, un saka: lasi jel šo! Un viņš saka: es nevaru, ja tā ir aizzieģelēta.
And so all vision hath become unto you as the words of a writing that is sealed, Which is delivered unto one acquainted with writing, saying, Pray thee read this, And he saith, I cannot, for it is sealed;
12 Un to grāmatu dod vienam, kas nemāk lasīt, un saka: lasi jel šo! Un viņš saka: es nemāku lasīt.
And then the writing is delivered to one unacquainted with writing, saying, Pray thee read this, And he saith I am not acquainted with writing.
13 Jo Tas Kungs ir sacījis: tādēļ ka šie ļaudis pie Manis nāk ar savu muti un Mani godā ar savām lūpām, bet viņu sirds ir tālu no Manis nost, un ka tie Mani bīstas pēc cilvēku baušļiem, kas tiem top mācīti,
Wherefore My Lord hath said, —Because this people, hath drawn near with their mouth, And with their lips, have honoured me, But their heart, have they moved far from me, And so their reverence of me hath become A commandment of men in which they have been schooled,
14 Tādēļ, redzi, Es joprojām ar šiem ļaudīm darīšu brīnišķi, brīnišķi un apbrīnojami, ka viņu gudro gudrība zudīs, un viņu prātīgo prāts apslēpsies.
Therefore, behold me! again dealing wonderfully with this people, doing wonderfully a wonderful thing, —So shall perish, the wisdom of their wise men, And the intelligence of their intelligent men, shall vanish!
15 Ak vai, tiem, kas savu padomu dziļi grib apslēpt no Tā Kunga, un kuru darbi notiek tumsībā, un kas saka: kas mūs redz un kas mūs pazīst?
Alas! for them who would fain have been too deep for Yahweh by giving secret counsel, —and therefore in the dark, have been their doings, and they have said Who can see us? and—Who can understand us?
16 Ak tavu bezprātību! Vai māls turams podniekam līdzi, ka darbs sacītu par savu darītāju: viņš mani nav darījis, un tēls par savu tēlotāju: viņš neprot?
Your perverseness! As if like clay, the potter could be reckoned; For shall, the thing made say of him that made it, he made me not? Or hath the thing fashioned ever said of him that fashioned it, He hath no understanding.
17 Vai nav tikai mazs brīdis vēl, ka Lībanus taps darīts par auglīgu tīrumu, un auglīgais tīrums taps turēts par mežu?
Is it not yet a very little while, And Lebanon shall be turned, into garden land, —And garden land, for a forest, be reckoned?
18 Un tai dienā kurlie dzirdēs grāmatas vārdus, un aklo acis redzēs no krēslas un tumsas.
Therefore, in that day, shall the deaf hear the words of a book, —And out of gloom and darkness, the eyes of the blind shall see;
19 Un bēdīgiem būs atkal prieks iekš Tā Kunga, un nabagi starp cilvēkiem līksmosies iekš Israēla Svētā,
And again shall the humbled in Yahweh, have joy, —And the needy of mankind in the Holy One of Israel, exult;
20 Ka varas darītājam gals klāt, un mēdītājs beigts, un visi izdeldēti, kas uz blēņām domā,
For the tyrant, hath vanished, And the scoffer, is no more, Yea cut off are all who watch for iniquity: —
21 Kas viena vārda dēļ cilvēku notiesā un liek valgus tam, kas vārtos pārmāca, un taisno nospiež ar viltu.
Who bring a man into condemnation with a rumour, And for him that decideth in the gate, lay a snare, —And have driven away, for a thing of nought, one who was righteous.
22 Tādēļ Tas Kungs, kas Ābrahāmu atpestījis, saka uz Jēkaba namu: Jēkabs vairs netaps kaunā, un viņa vaigs vairs nenobālēs.
Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, concerning the house of Jacob, [even he saith it] who redeemed Abraham, —Not now, shall, Jacob turn pale, And, not now, shall their faces whiten;
23 Jo kad viņš, kad viņa bērni redzēs Manu roku darbu savā vidū, tad tie svētīs Manu Vārdu un svētīs to Svēto iekš Jēkaba un bīsies Israēla Dievu.
For, when he seeth his children the work of my hands, in his midst, They will hallow my Name, —Yea they will hallow the Holy One of Jacob, And the God of Israel, will they regard with awe.
24 Un tie, kam gars alojās, nāks pie saprašanas, un kurnētāji pieņems mācību.
Then will they who erred in spirit comprehend, And the murmurers, accept instruction.
